Looks like this is the part where Marisa argues that vegetables were just there growing on their own and Anon's power level proceeds to shoot well over 9000.
Apparently, yukkuri have enough visual acuity and pattern recognition to identify accessories, but never seem to notice the uneasy patterns and arrangements of vegetable fields. Probably just a low intelligence thing.
Unlike accessories that's used to identify individuals, other pattern doesn't need such high level of perception. Human can identify facial features, but can find it hard to identify someone from other body part (or smell of fart) despite the distinctiveness it has.
Besides, this yukkuri family don't have any idea about farm, or they don't get knowledge of "Mister Human's Farm" in detail (e.g: I know Libya has a president but I doubt I'll recognize him sitting next to me on the train without any guards or attributes)
I wonder how well they could be reasoned with. For example, could you tell them that they can continue to live there if they only eat the bugs and snails off the lettuce, and the various wild plants outside the farm? And in exchange, you'll give them a cookie a day or something? That would be mutually beneficial.

Smashing their lives apart is so much more fun.
That sounds like it would make a good idea for a comic though, mind if I steal it?
I kinda feel bad for this family. So far they don't show any glaring signs of shithead tendencies. They're just painfully stupid with regards to humans and farms, and blundered into a supremely unwise place to settle down.
Not that I blame the human at all for just stomping them after they ate the crops, mind you. I'd be rightfully pissed as well, and with wild yukkuri of neutral temperament, they're not likely to understand what they did wrong. "But Mister Vegetables just grow on their own!" and all that. Not necessarily malicious, but not smart enough to learn and not be a problem in the future.

Sure, steal away. Personally I liked Salem's idea from an earlier post, where Marisa was feeling very easy about her family, but then might start to wonder - is this all there is? Is this as easy at it gets? Shouldn't there be more? Existential stuff!

If you look at it from the human's perspective.. he finds his entire garden trashed by stray yukkuri. He isn't going to think they're niceheads, at all. Thus, he's going to make the assumption that they're shitheads.
Outside of the fact these are manjuu, you can probably compare this to a human finding out that a bunch of rats have been trashing the garden. NO person in their right mind is going to catch rats (vermin) and release them somewhere else, and because people are generally too scared or disgusted by rats to kill them, they hire other people to kill the rats for them. So if you take away the filthiness of rats, any one of us would probably kill this vermin (the yukkuri)
Devoured cabbage plotsSo why did...you do this no ze...?Marisa's family didn't...didn't do anything bad...M-Mister Human...
